Book Fair

‘Be as careful of the books you read, as of the company you keep; for your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as the latter.’

Orchids highlights the benefits of reading books by organizing USSR (Uninterrupted Self Sustained Reading) week periodically to enhance students’ reading skills. Each student of every class gets engaged in reading during a specified time during the week.

As one of the attempts to promote reading habit among students, the school organized a book exhibition which was inaugurated by the Principal Mrs.Mona Mehdi, who herself is a voracious reader. She encouraged the students to take up reading as a hobby. The fair would last for 3 days.

One Nation Reading Together’ - ONRT 2013

Reading as a hobby has always been encouraged among our students. We have always had Scholastic Fairs at our school at regular intervals during the academic year so that the students who are avid readers get an opportunity to buy more books and the others also get inculcated into the habit of reading.

 In this context, it was fun being a part of ‘One Nation Reading Together’ - ONRT 2013. Students from all classes – from the pre-primary sections to the X – participated with a lot of enthusiasm as they were a part of a ‘national activity’.  While most of them were engrossed in reading books written by their favourite authors, others who were more artistically inclined, made bookmarks.

The 30 minutes passed fast…..in fact we felt that they passed too fast. We appreciate the

endeavour made by Scholastic India who have started this activity with a noble purpose and

we also feel glad that we have been an integral part of the exercise.
